Head coach Gareth Naven's pre-match thoughts

"I think it exposes them to the experience against Guangzhou last night and amongst the first-team players and understanding what does it take to get there and stay there. I'd like to think they want to bring something back to the group and find out from them what they learned from that moment they had with the senior team in the ACL game. But our focus is leading into Eastern Lions, and obviously the whole time we've had off it's been about what can we get better at in our defensive, attacking (play) and we always said to our group of players, we play at our tempo, not NPL tempo. So, we're really focused on controlling what we can control and our strengths and getting better at that."
